What great service from Trevor, highly recommend him. Our holiday let tv was causing issues for our guests, the signal strength was showing as low as 18&19%. We contacted a couple of other companies who booked to come out but never turned up! Meaning our guests had no tv. We found Trevor’s company via Google and his reviews were impressive, he agreed to come at 10am today after guests checked out and before new guests checked in this afternoon. On the dot of 10am Trevor arrived and very quickly found the issue. Old tv aerial wiring was the issue and Trevor replaced it and a installed a new outdoor tv aerial and we now currently have a perfect picture on the tv for our guests. Trevor is a wonderful character, a clean and tidy worker and very reasonable with his charges. What more can we say other than we thoroughly recommend him 👏🏻

On the 6th June 1944 the Allies launched Operation Overlord, more commonly known as D-Day.

Over 150,000 soldiers were sent across to the beaches of Normandy codenamed Sword, Juno, Omaha, Gold and Utah to fight for our freedom. One year later WW2 came to an end in Europe.

Today we remember those who went to war across the English Channel, both those who came home and those who made the ultimate sacrifice.

At the going down of the sun, and in the morning, we will remember them.

🌿Bacton Woods

Bacton Woods is just over a 20 minute drive from The Old Dairy and it’s a beautiful place to explore. It is dog friendly and is just as beautiful in the colder months as it is in the Summer! The last 3 photos show a soggy Milo enjoying an Autumnal walk there🐾

Good afternoon all 👋🏻

I saw this image recently that was shared by the main Hampshire Constabulary page and thought I would post it here for awareness.
The horse community on the Island is densely populated and inevitably that means you will often come across horses being ridden, driven or lead.
Last year, the Highway Code changed to detail how drivers should manage situations involving animals, this is as follows:

Rule 214

Animals: When passing animals, drive slowly. Give them plenty of room and be ready to stop. Do not scare animals by sounding your horn, revving your engine or accelerating rapidly once you have passed them. Look out for animals being led, driven or ridden on the road and take extra care. Keep your speed down at bends and on narrow country roads. If a road is blocked by a herd of animals, stop and switch off your engine until they have left the road. Watch out for animals on unfenced roads.

Rule 215

Horse riders and horse-drawn vehicles. Be particularly careful of horse riders and horse-drawn vehicles especially when approaching, overtaking, passing or moving away. Always pass wide and slowly. When you see a horse on a road, you should slow down to a MAXIMUM OF 10 mph. Be patient, do not sound your horn or rev your engine. WHEN SAFE TO DO SO, PASS WIDE AND SLOW, ALLOWING AT LEAST 2 METRES OF SPACE 🚗

Feral or semi feral ponies found in areas such as the New Forest, Exmoor and Dartmoor require the same consideration as ridden horses when approaching or passing.

Horse riders are often children, so take extra care and remember riders may ride in double file when escorting a young or inexperienced horse or rider. Look out for horse riders’ and horse drivers’ signals and heed a request to slow down or stop. Take great care and treat all horses as a potential hazard; they can be unpredictable, despite the efforts of their rider/driver. Remember there are three brains at work when you pass a horse; the rider’s, the driver’s and the horse’s. Do not forget horses are flight animals and can move incredibly quickly if startled 🐴
